Brooklyn Museum Night
by: Victoria DiTomasso, NamHee Kim, Henry Levine, Sarina Shahmoon-Kleinman, Winnie Shen, Jennifer Tam, Cherin Oh
If you stand in the middle of the mirrors, it looks like the two figures are staring at your reflection. The piece has an air of mystery about it because though they are looking at your reflection, the man and woman exist in a different time and place. Without visiting the museum, one can never experience the magic of this piece because your reflection becomes a part of the piece. For the short moment that you are in front of the piece, you become part of the exhibit. The piece will never look the same to anyone.

Sano Di Pietro
by: Maria Myrianthopoulos, Laura Dewey, Nicolette Arapis, Dan Munson, Hannah McQuaid
For our group, the museum visit provided us with an alternative point of view of art and history in general, and allowed us to cooperatively investigate individual pieces of art. I learned that my group, along with myself, has the capability to understand multiple views of art.

The Web of Life
by: Luca Bozzo, Kendra Cornelis, Nikolas Nester, Charlie Houlton-Vinyl, Nora McCready
It was a very enriching experience, when we initially walked up to the painting none of us thought that we would have very much to say about the piece, but once we started talking we ended up actually going over the time limit discussing different elements of the piece and what they symbolized.

John Koch’s “The Sculptor”
by: Carol Chau, Ashley Abraham, Brian Auquilla, Mohamed Mohamed, Skye Hersh, Tala Azar
There’s an awful amount of information and value to glean from just one painting; forcing oneself to consider its details opens it up, making it accessible.

Columbus Before the Queen
by: Michele Hu, Preethi Singh, Giuseppe Fiorica, Rebekah Wallner
In the painting, Columbus before the Queen, Leutze epitomizes the power and influence the Spaniards had during the height of the Spanish empire. The picture portrays Christopher Columbus informing King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella about his third voyage to the New World. Columbus is pictured in the center of this painting, and it is quite evident that most people in the room are listening to him attentively. This event is most likely taking place in the royal palace due to the elaborate décor of the surroundings.
At the time of interpreting the painting, we were unaware of the title. However, it was apparent to us that the man pictured in the center of the painting was informing a king and a queen about something of great importance. After uncovering the painting’s true title, we realized that certain components of the painting were rather mystifying to us. For example, because Columbus is delivering news of the new world to King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain, one would expect every member in the painting to be ecstatic. However, surprisingly, this is not the case. Most notably is Queen Isabella who looks rather perturbed during Columbus’s delivery of the news. This is astonishing because according to the title, Columbus is directly addressing the Queen.

A Resting Place for Prisoners by Vasily Vereshchagen
The experience was great as we were given a chance to analyze art and its relevance and connection to our emotions as well as history.

Macaulay Night at the Museum (Rec 155)
by: Joshua Previl, Austin Johnson, Niven Hemraj, Alex Ehrreich, Michael Muyalde
This video was created by Joshua Previl, although the rest of the group members created one earlier. This was a good experience, since I am not very tech savvy. I definitely learned how to analyze different art exhibits better than I have before.

Brooklyn Night at the Museum
by: Ross Scopellite, Zach Christian, Nalena Cruzado, Farzana Ruzehaji
Our experience was unique and interesting. We enjoyed the night overall and it was fascinating to listen to each others’ insightful comments about art- something most students don’t often do. We learned that we have different views on art, but could still come to a mutual understanding of what the piece of art means.
